Yes; after a recently-added javadoc feature in JDK 16:

     JDK-8075778: Add javadoc tag to avoid duplication of return 
information in simple situations.
     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8075778

The usage allow an explicit @return tag to be elided when it is the same 
as the first sentence of the javadoc.

The docs in the java.compiler module have been updated to use the feature.

HTH,
